The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 747 - 745 Draw a Card

Huff... Hah...

With regulated breathing,

Yi Chen returned to his optimal condition, but even so, his emaciated body could hardly be concealed by his clothing.

"Mr. Yi Chen! We saw each other for what I thought was the last time in ’that other world.’ So, this is what William meant by ’attending and yet not attending.’

Don’t be wary of me, I’m different from Boss Art, I come with good intentions."

Tying her hair into a single ponytail, Catherine approached with great curiosity. This time, Yi Chen did not turn away with an unfriendly gaze; in fact, he did not even open his eyes and merely said simply,

"I can discern for myself whether there’s malice. If you have something to say, get on with it, and if not, spare me the chatter."

"Eh! So fierce... I was just very curious about your condition~ I originally thought that William losing an eye was tragic enough, but you’ve lost half your body and some internal organs. To continue living with over 50% bodily damage, this is the first time I’ve seen such a thing.

With more than half of the individual concept lost, it should theoretically lead directly to death.

By the way, what kind of thing did you encounter that was so frightening?"

But Yi Chen merely glanced at her askance, "I’ve said, no idle talk... If you want to trade information, present some valid information for trade."

Catherine held her hands to her chin in a flower shape, "Eh! You’re no fun at all."

Yi Chen retracted his gaze, closed his eyes to rest, and no longer paid attention to anyone.

"However, it really is impressive that you’re on par with Boss Art in terms of aura~ If we happen to encounter each other during the performance later, for the sake of my relationship with William, please don’t kill me."

When Catherine finished speaking and realized that Yi Chen was completely ignoring her, she rotated her flowery pupils only to find that the killing intent converging around Yi Chen had actually formed into a detestable woman,

Reaching out to cover his ears, refusing to accept any external audio information.

For a moment, Catherine became somewhat assertive; she had to speak to the man in front of her today no matter what.

"Although you can sustain such a damaged body through some special method, it’s clear that you are aging quickly, you can’t stop it no matter how much you eat, and you’ve become sallow and emaciated like you are now.

No matter how powerful you are, you probably won’t live more than a year, right?"

Yi Chen still did not respond.

"Tsk~ this thing, do you like it? It’s a gift for you!"

As Catherine took out something, Yi Chen unexpectedly smelled a hint of Death Aura, neither too strong nor too light, and slowly opened his eyes.

A string of compressed skulls were fashioned into a bracelet on Catherine’s hand.

Most of these skulls appeared swollen and distorted, with proliferative bone within the cranium that would surely compress any brain placed inside.

Beyond the Death Aura,

these skulls were also emitting a strange magnetic field, constantly propagating the concept of ’suicide.’

"I was originally going to give this to William as a thanks for getting me a divine medium like the Buddha Mother in the Arc Sea, but well~ after some thought, I figured you had put in a lot of effort too, Mr. Yi Chen, and this item suits you even better."

"What are these skulls made of?"

"Hey there~ You’ve finally decided to interact with someone, it wasn’t easy! To answer Mr. Yi Chen, these were carefully selected over several months after Boss Art and I took over Yu City, using the skulls of people with severe depression who had reached Open Source status.

They fully embraced the concept of suicide, each having attempted it over a hundred times.

Even under the influence of the Clown Virus, they never forgot their original intent to commit suicide, and I finally helped them achieve their ultimate goal of suicide by creating this bracelet."

"How much?"

"Hey! What’s the need for money between us? It’s a gift! Just spare me later on, and try not to hurt the boss too much – he needs to be killed by me."

Catherine’s voice was completely lowered as she used her index finger to cover her lips.

Next, Catherine wanted to take the initiative to put the bracelet of depressed skulls on Yi Chen, only to have it intercepted by a baby lying on Yi Chen’s arm,

Clearly not wanting any physical contact with Catherine.

"Thank you, Miss Catherine."

"Humph!"

Catherine didn’t insist, and went by herself to the makeup table to touch up her makeup, yet from time to time through the mirror she would glance at Yi Chen, who had his eyes closed as if mediating within his helmet.

Also present was the Ancestor Primordial Body from the Arc Sea - Lia Roman, as well as two daughters who passed the audition, who, when looking at Yi Chen together, could also feel the threat of death.

But Buddha Mother Lia could see much more.

As the red droplet at the center of her brow lit up with luster, when she looked at the young man from a special viewpoint,

she saw not only the human-shaped imitations of Killing Intent coiled around the youth, but also caught glimpses of a black ocean that would appear and disappear.

The young man, who seemed to be resting in a chair, was actually floating on the surface of the ocean, constantly merging with death itself.

"Filled with the black water of death... but it certainly carries the ’concept of the sea.’ Who exactly is he?"

Lia would have liked to chat with this mysterious youth, but her noble and ancient status prevented her from doing so.

Additionally, there was Bablo Zhi Chang from Rong Chang company present, who merely glanced at Yi Chen before focusing on digging with his fingers structured like intestines, cleaning the filth within.

About half an hour passed,

and with a wave of heat surging into the backstage, William arrived on-site as the ’director,’ his attire’s end and hair tips trailing ashes, holding a box meant for drawing lots in his hand.

Everyone, including Yi Chen, focused their gaze on William’s right face,

where a large hole blasted open by firearms revealed a special eye within.

1. Covered with red spots and burn marks,

2. At its center was a small black ring-shaped Pupil of Death,

3. Across the surface of the eye floated black hair resembling flames,

at the first sight of this eye, everyone thought of a special term that hadn’t been used for a long time - "Evil Sun".

In particular, the octopus women from the Deep Sea felt their body fluids boil and became uncomfortable merely by looking directly at this eye.

"Thank you for your patience! I’ve just modified myself a bit, and next, we’ll proceed with confirming identities before the performance.

The final performance will take place in a luxurious mansion, and you all will play the roles of people living in the mansion. The ’Identity Cards’ for different characters are all inside this box.

After drawing your Identity Card, please make sure to perform in character according to the profile on it.

1. Gender is not compulsory, I believe all of you can perfectly perform even if you draw an Identity Card of the opposite sex,

2. Each character comes with a specific script, and the higher the match between character behavior and the script, the slower the ’Danger Level’ will grow.

3. After drawing the Identity Card, the related information will be directly uploaded into your brains, and you must not disclose your identity to others,

There are some more points to note which would be better explained after everyone has drawn their card.

I’m warning you, my eye is very sensitive, so don’t try any tricks while drawing lots. Okay! Who wants to go first?"

Catherine was the first to step forward to draw a card, and the moment she grasped the card, it immediately turned into particles and entered her body, with the relevant information and script uploaded into her brain.

In the end, William also approached Yi Chen, who was still with closed eyes and half-squatted to facilitate the drawing.

After everyone received their corresponding Identity Cards, William provided some final supplements.

"For the final performance, I have added a new setting – ’Danger Level’.

Everyone’s Danger Level will start at [zero], which will increase over time.

If any of you are not professional enough during the performance process, act out of line with the script, or if the performance itself is not particularly interesting and fails to effectively drive the atmosphere, it will cause the Danger Level to grow exponentially.

The higher your Danger Level, the greater the likelihood of encountering danger.

On the other hand, if you deliver a spectacular performance and fully drive the atmosphere, the Danger Level will pause its growth.

If anyone among you deliberately disrupts the final performance, destroying everything I have carefully crafted, it will mean you are making an enemy of me, and I will spare no expense to cast you into the Abyss.

Finally, please remember the primary theme of the performance – [Fear]."
